Advising

Effective communication between our students and staff is a crucial component of your academic success. We have a great advising team that can assist undergraduate students with department and university graduation requirements, as well as class selection. They can also provide information on campus resources and enriching your student experience. General Advising questions can be sent to cheundergrad@utah.edu

We encourage students to meet with an advisor regularly to ensure timely progress toward their degree.

Prospective & Returning Students

Whether you are a high school student choosing AP classes or a future transfer student planning your community college courses, we are happy to answer questions that our prospective students may have!

Incoming first-year and transfer students will have dedicated time with our advising team at Orientation, and most of your questions will be answered then.

Please email us to schedule an appointment or ask a quick question!

First-Year Students: cheundergrad@utah.edu 

Transfer Students: drwagner@chemeng.utah.edu

You will not be able to access the Navigate system to schedule appointments until you have been accepted to the U and have paid your enrollment deposit.
